PHI/COL

[kckolbe]

Was it actually PDX that negotiated this? Or was it Kolbe?

Either way, I'm jealous of what deals look like without Otter Tax.

PDX did all the coord with COL. I spoke to BAL and, as you know, OC. Unfortunately, my laptop died yesterday during negotiations, so I wasn't able to reach out to others. By the time I had a new one, PDX had messaged me with the details of the trade that were significantly better than what BAL or OC were willing to give up, and I knew without having to ask that NOLA had basically nothing to offer for picks and didn't want to give up young talent (BAL had offered 2 2nds, which would both be later in the round than COL, obviously), so I agreed to the trade. My only interaction with Meme was to confirm my acceptance as PDX was no longer allowed to formally accept the trade, having already stepped down.

I should have reached out to YKW, and wanted to, but the laptop thing kinda fucked me. He felt it was the best we could get, and based on what I had seen, I believed him.
